Abstract :
The software technology provides a highly interactive and powerful learning environment for control engineering disciplines. This paper describes the development and implementation of Linear Systems Theory Education Tool, which contains lectures connected through graphical user interface with electronic manuscripts and examples Matlab and Simulink. Linear Systems Theory Education Tool is a graphical application, which offers undergraduate electrical engineering students a clear and easily support by learning linear systems theory in native language. This tool connects the electronic manuscripts and many examples in Matlab and Simulink through a graphical user interface. It provides students the foundations for independent studies and distance learning. The main focus in paper is given to the graphical interface structure illustrated with an example. Finally, the paper provides some discussion.
